Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Hello, I am using Creo Parametric 10.0.10.0.When we use a threaded hole feature fabrication needs some information.Thread size, thread depth etc.Using hole chart make this possible.But when we have a pattern of a threaded hole, we also want to see the number of holes.Because this is related to a feature ID i can't seem to figure out how to make this possible.In attached picture you can see what i tried.Does anyone have a solution for me? Thanks in advance. LD

Hi, We're using Creo 10.0.6.0 and currently evaluating the ECAD-MCAD Collaboration (ECX) which allows using IDX files. On the ECAD side, we use Cadence. We ran into a snag because we have rigid flex assemblies that use multiple thicknesses, but Creo doesn't support that yet. Many references here:  https://community.ptc.com/t5/Creo-Parametric-Ideas/ECAD-board-with-different-thickness/idi-p/814493 https://community.ptc.com/t5/Creo-Parametric-Ideas/Support-IDX-4-5-File-format/idi-p/842345 https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS262034?source=search https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS302761?source=search We have workarounds to manage these files today using EMN/EMP transfers. I'm interested in learning if others have already found workarounds to manage multiple thicknesses with IDX files.    Thanks, Joe

I am using Creo 11. I have separate .hol file. I want to write code in that .hol file so that "1 X" should not be visible in the hole note. Plz help, how can I modify this line{0:&PATTERN_NO}× /{0:&FASTENER_ID} × {0:&THREAD_DEPTH[.1]}<ctrl-a>/<ctrl-b>{0:&DRILL_DEPTH[.1]}V so that Pattern_No will not visible if the value is 1.

It would be useful if we could repeat a Geo Tol in a drawing without always starting with the simple "tolerance of precision" I seem to remember in the past when it would start with the previous instance.These are in the drawing, not the model. I sincerely hope that's not the problem. In fact that couldn't be the problem because if they were "in the model" they would simply "show" I would rather add the tolerances in the drawings.

I'm trying to set up a design study where I rotate a crankshaft and the load vectors and magnitudes vary based on the rotation angle.  I was told I could create a user parameter, which is the angle, and then link the load values and/or directions to the angle parameter using relations. So when the angle value changes, the loads change accordingly.   Can someone show me how I would write a relation like that? or Does someone have another way to do this?   Currently the crankshaft is an assembly file where the load vector is defined with a coordinate system.  So when the assembly angle (crankshaft angle) is changed the csys changes to apply the bearing load at the correct vector.

Hey, I have a few mapkeys where I use the pause with the resume prompt/popup. (I've included a picture for clarity) There is no need to hit cancel but if you do click cancel instead of "Resume" it leaves you in an undesired state. The preferred fix would be to remove the "cancel" button entirely and only show "Resume". Is this possible and if so, how. I've tried modifying lines in the config file with no luck so far. Thanks!  

I am using Creo Parametric Release 11.0 and Datecode11.0.6.0After installing PTC Creo (11.00.07), I attempted to open various files. However, only assembly (.asm) and part (.prt) files will open. When I view a part, the background is completely black.Here are the errors that I facedNo error messages. but Despite successfully creating and saving new sketches, the part view still shows a black background. Changing appearance settings did not resolve the issue. I still could not visit the part

Is it possible to add a Datum Reference Frame CSY to an annotation state?  If its not supported now, what work-arounds are people currently using? To my understanding, the DRF must be displayed in the model IAW Y14.41 (2018) Section 11.2.1.    DRF's were optional in Y14.5, but are required in Y41.41. I haven't been successful with "Reference" feature on the Model Tab, or the "Establish DRF" in GDT Advisor.  Example Image from Creo 12Excerpt from Y14.41 for example display of DRF's. 

Hi Folks,I can't find the butt weld option in the welding application ribbon. Any idea where this would be?Thank you.

Hi,with Creo Parametric 12 have you ever seen prohibition sign from event manager staying at the bottom of the bar even if i've already check the issue from event management?thanks

Hello there,As you can see , i am trying build a simple full asynchronous mode of toolkit application to connect to a running creo session, later i will try to fetch the component details. But as off now i am stuck with this errors  , can anyone help me. 1) I am not sure if i have included correct libraries in project settings.2) stuck in these errors is there any manual to dive deep to study on full asynchronous mode 

PTC is adding AI capabilities into Creo. I wonder what capabilities you hope to see in a Creo NC AI integration? - speeds and feeds calculation  - tool creation based on part topology  - sequence creation  - optimize toolpath approach and exit  - reuse a machining strategy from prior  - check for errors and collision  - etc   Let me know in the comments 

I am using Creo Parametric Release 11.0 and Datecode11.0.6.0I have a part 1 (single body .prt) in which I cut the volume of a part 2 (single body .prt) through a boolean operation.After having modified the part 2, I updated the part 1: the part 2 positionning into part 1 was modified, the part 2 is turned upside-down into part 1.How to (re)define the positionning of part 2 relatively to part 1?

Some industry specs tool short cuts in the annotations which may not translate well to the 3D annotation rules.  I'm wondering if some teams have already addressed these?  O-ring GrooveHydraulic PortsO-ring GrooveThe standard o-ring groove dimensions often to to a virtual sharp condition.   Regular o-rings have virtual sharps at the bottom and dovetail have virtual sharps at the top.    Do you use virtual geometry, or special notes, or convert the tolerances to a more GDT based notation?Example groove drawings (Source) Hydraulic PortsIn some of the hydraulic port standards, the dimensions have angles to virtual surfaces.  Do you just redraw to a coinvent real surface, or add virtual surfaces.   (When a standard port is used, we could just specify the Standard Spec)Example J1926 and ISO 6149-1 port images (Source) 

I am trying to set up a company hole table that everyone can use to better format hole notes on our drawings. I have it set up and working well but the one major annoyance is the &PATTERN_NO parameter. I want it included for when there is a pattern but when there is just one hole it displays "1X" Is there a way to add a condition that will not display that is the &PATTERN_NO is 1.Sample CALLOUT FORMAT: &PATTERN_NO X <CTRL-a>n<CTRL-b> &DIAMETER[.1] <CTRL-a>x<CTRL-b> &DRILL_DEPTH[.1] / &METRIC_SIZE &VAR_THREAD &THREAD_DEPTH[.1]Thanks,Josh

Tried harness part/assembly instance/generic. Always get empty report

Creo 11.0.2.0I've used "Options" "Window Settings" "Graphics Toolbar Setting" to place my Graphics Toolbar in the Status Bar at the bottom of the screen. When switching between open windows, working in assemblies, etc, sometimes the software just "forgets" to put the graphics toolbar back in one assembly when I activate it.  I can switch to other parts, drawings and assemblies, and it appears in each window. When I go back to that particular window, it doesn't show.  I can't say for sure, but this seems to happen more after I go to assemble a part using the "Separate Window" Component Display option. My current only workaround to get it back is to close the window which has "forgot" the graphics toolbar, and reopen that file. Funky bug. Anyone else with experience on this?

Is it posible to create a Bom table like below?with repeat region? so its start filling left bellow corner. when it reaches the 7th row.then it jumps over to the second collum. Creo 9 

I have next to no surfacing experience.  I have a solid part that has a concave curved indent, made up of individual "surfaces" I guess you would call them.  Protruding from that set of surfaces is a recycle symbol that I need to edit, or, remove & replace.  My initial intent was to remove it, then extrude a different one, both using the "up to" reference and the quilt being that ref.  I selected the surrounding surfaces, then Copy & Pasted.  That gave me the quilt fine, but I think there are "holes" in it where the recycle symbol is.  I can't extrude to it from the front or back, it just fails.  Help me out...?  Something to fill the holes, or a different approach entirely?  I am at my wits end.

I'm not sure PTC understands the concept of a model. It’s supposed to represent reality in a simplified form — yet PTC simply ignores threads and doesn’t display them at all. A thread should be immediately noticeable, but in Creo I still have to search for them. It’s absurd. Please tell me there’s a solution that doesn’t involve wireframe graphics from the last millennium.

I am using Creo Parametric Release 5.0 and Datecode5.0.5.0I created a PRT family table, where my variants are two features, which I named "A," "B," "C" (Feature 1) via "post-regeneration" relationships, and "D," "E," "F" (Feature 2).In some instances, feature 2 is suppressed, even though the "family table" displays "*" in the values ​​for feature 2, so "D," "E," "F." The table displayed in 2D inserts the generic values. (The 3D of the instance is correct, so feature 2 is suppressed.)How can I fix this?

Hello everyone,I am having problems with a mechanism analysis in Creo.I have a square sliding pin that moves along an axis using a prismatic joint.The pin is preloaded by a spring.An eccentric rotating disk (cam) pushes the pin upward, and the spring pushes it back when the cam rotates away.The disk does not rotate around its geometric center (offset axis).What I am trying to achieveI need to evaluate the required driving torque of the rotating disk during the mechanism analysis.What I have already tried3D surface-to-surface contact between cam and pinCam / curve follower definition instead of contactUnfortunately, both approaches fail during the mechanism analysis with a “simulation failed / analysis failed” error.Additional question (modeling):I also need to place 48 identical sliding pins into corresponding grooves/slots around the disk.Is there a way to automatically insert or pattern these pins without defining each pin manually in the mechanism?Creo version: 12.4.0.0 Any hel

Hello,I work in Creo Parametric 12.4.1I want to make my .drw more helpfull, need to automaticaly create Hyperlinks to drawing no from the table of content. I have an assembly with 100 component, in Table>Repeat Region, first cell i have parameter &asm.mbr.ptc_common_nameThis parameter fill for all the position the drawing number.It is posible to create links to the server of all this files (they are in PDF format) and keep the drw no in the cells?I found this topic, but didn't find any solution to do it in Creo.  https://community.ptc.com/t5/Creo-Parametric-Ideas/Dynamic-Hyperlinks-in-drawing-and-as-result-updated/idi-p/456420
